Belê temaşevanên hêja, vê heftiyê jî em derbasî gundê Şêx bûn. Yes dear viewers, this week too we passed by the village of Şêx.
Ev gundê Şêx girêdayî navçeya Raco ye. This village of Şêx is connected to the district of Raco.
Ê destpêkê vê gundê ava kirî, Şêx Ehmed bû. The first to build this village was Şêx Ehmed.
Ji Kobanê berê xwe da Efrînê, hat li vir gundek ava kir, niha gundekî mezin jê çêbûye. He headed from Kobanê to Efrîn, came and built a village here, now a big village has come of it.
Niha em ê derbasî gund bibin, em ê bi hev re gundê Şêx nas bikin. Now we will enter the village, we will get to know the village of Şêx together.
Me xwest em gundê Şêx hinekî nas bikin. Ev gundê Şêx çend sal e çêbûye? We wanted to get to know the village of Şêx a bit. How many years has this village of Şêx been built?
Ehlensehlen. Gundê Şêx emrê xwe teqrîben sêsed sal heye. Welcome. The village of Şêx's age is approximately three hundred years.
Yanî çend sal kêmtir, zêdetir, dor sêsed sal e. That is, a few years less, more, around three hundred years.
Ji berê de gund li vir e, yan li gundekî din bû? Has the village been here from the beginning, or was it in another village?
Berê bidayet da, hê nehatî vê gundî yekî şên bike, li vê sirtê jor xaniyê xwe girt. Before in the beginning, before coming to populate this village, he built his house on this upper ridge.
Çend meh tê de derbas bû zivistan hat, sermayek rabû, mirîşkên wî ji sermayê mirin. A few months passed in it, winter came, a cold arose, his chickens died from the cold.
Pêşî ji ber sermayê ji wura reviyan, berê ev der çal bû. First they fled from there because of the cold, before this place was a pit.
Çal bû, kelem bû, fe da ket jêr, vê mewqeyê noka em lê, li vê derê, xaniyê xwe girt. Vê sirtê berda, da ket jêr. It was a pit, it was a stump, so he went down, this location we are at now, here, he built his house. He left this ridge, went down.
Ji vura çiqas dûr e ew? How far is that from here?
Ji vir desed metir e, sêsed metir e. Serî, serî vê telê. From here it is two hundred meters, three hundred meters. The top, the top of this hill.
Nexwe ê destpêkê derbasî vir bû Şêx Ehmed bû? Ew ji ku derê, ji Kobanê hat? So the first to cross here was Şêx Ehmed? Where did he come from, from Kobanê?
Şêx Ehmed bû, ji Kobanê, ji Taşlûkê hat. It was Şêx Ehmed, from Kobanê, he came from Taşlûk.
Wekî, berê bav û kalên me yê mezin digotin me, ji Taşlûkê hat vê derê. As, before our big ancestors used to tell us, he came from Taşlûk to here.
Destpêkê hat li Birnêşê, ji wî gundî? Initially he came to Birnêş, from that village?
Bidayet da hê nehatî, eza bû, hat bi tenê, çend salan li gundê dî, Birnêş, rûnişt. In the beginning before coming, he was single, he came alone, he stayed for a few years in the other village, Birnêş.
Be'dê çend salan li wir zewicî, xwest, go ez ê bi tenê xwe rûnim. Fe hat vê mewqeyê îxtiyar kir û şên kir. After a few years he married there, he wanted, he said I will settle alone. So he came to this location, chose it and populated it.
Gundê din jî ew jî gelek nêzîk e, ew jî cîranên we ne? The other village is also very close, are they also your neighbors?
Nêzîk e tiştekî kêm e, sê kîlometir ji me dûr in. It is close it is a little thing, they are three kilometers away from us.
Ji wî gundî zewicî? He married from that village?
Na ji gundekî din zewicî. No he married from another village.
Û be'dî zewicî, hat, go ew ê bi tenê xwe rûne, hat vê derê îxtiyar kir. And after he married, he came, he said he will settle alone, he came here and chose it.
Û, ew gundê me vê derê girt û xaniyê xwe girt û gund şên kir û mewqeyê xwe jî vê derê vir di navbera du çiyayî hewar e. And, he took our village here and built his house and populated the village and its location is also here between two mountains it's flatland.
Yanî gundê me, gundê çiyê, gundê dî, evana di Çiyayê Hawarê de ne. Me'rûf in. That is our village, the mountain village, the other village, these are in the Hawar Mountain. They are well- known.
Û Şêx, bi xwe însanekî şêx bû û şêxekî koklî, wek dibêjin. And Şêx, he himself was a sheikh person and a deeply rooted sheikh, as they say.
Yanî di mentiqeyê de gişkî de em me'rûf in bi şêxitiya xwe. I mean in the entire region we are all known for our sheikhhood.
Kerametek xwe... yanî heta gund jî gundên dûr jî qîmetekî didanê, teqdîrekî dikirin. His miracle... I mean even the village, the distant villages also gave a value to him, gave an appreciation.
Xêrekî, sirekî xwe hebû, kerametekî xwe hebû. Mişkelek hebûya bi xwe, bi şeklekî tew'î, dihatin, diçûn, meselan digotin em ê vê mişkeleyê hel bikin. He had a blessing, a secret, he had a miracle. If there was a problem, voluntarily, coming, going, for example they used to say we will solve this problem.
Milet nedikarî bêjin na, nedikarîn, êdî ne dihatin bêjin na. The people couldn't say no, they couldn't, anymore they couldn't come to say no.
Boy wê tiştî jî qîmetê xwe di mentiqeyê de zêde dibû. For that thing too his value in the region was increasing.
Teqdîrekî didanê digotin wella ew Şêxler e nabe. They gave an appreciation saying by God they are the Sheikhs it doesn't suit us.
Tab'en berî hukmet deret kêm bûn, yanî çûn hatin hevdû gilî kirin, ev hukmetên derve û tişt nebûn. Of course before the government appeared they were few, I mean going coming complaining about each other, these outside governments and things didn't exist.
Ê zêde yan eger biçûna cem Şêxleran yan cem axan meselan mişkeleyên xwe hel dikirin. And mostly either if they went to the Sheikhs or to the aghas for example they solved their problems.
Şêxleran jî bi hukmê wê yekê 'elaqeta xwe bi miletî re dihatin û bi şeklekî silmî çareser dikirin, hel dikirin. The Sheikhs also by the rule of that one their relationship with the people they came and in a peaceful way they solved, resolved.
Ê piştî Şêx Ehmed di gund de kî mezinê wan bû? Rihspiyê wan kî bû? And after Şêx Ehmed who was their elder in the village? Who was their white-bearded elder?
Tab'en Şêx Ehmed, dawîn zewicî sê çar qîzên xwe bûn, dan mêr, lê piştî ku emr jî pir bû, mezin bû, yanî berî mirinê lawkî xwe çêbû. Of course Şêx Ehmed, lastly married he had three four daughters, he gave them to husbands, but after his age became a lot too, he grew old, I mean before dying he had a son.
Rabû wê lawkî jî bi bavkê xwe nav kirin. Navê wî jî nav lê nan Şêx Ehmed. He got up and named that boy too after his father. His name too they named Şêx Ehmed.
Ê diya, rabû Şêx Ehmedê diduyan, zewicî, pênc lawên xwe jî bûn. So, the second Şêx Ehmed got up, married, he also had five sons.
Tab'en ê mezin, sê çar, meselan wek dibêjin qedir didan wî. Of course the older one, three four, for example as they say gave respect to him.
Diyar e kî mezin ba meselan kî ew bû. It is clear whoever was older for example who it was him.
Wek dibêjin, maf derketa, rê didan wî, meselan wek dibêjin, ew dikirin didîtin. As they say, if a right emerged, they gave way to him, for example as they say, they did they saw.
Pê cema'etan, deran ve mişkeleyan wisa bû. Through assemblies, outside doors problems it was like that.
Mezinan jî wê wextê dî, wextê, tê de kî mezin bû, ew dihat û milet diket dorê, hel dikirin. The elders too that other time, the time, in it whoever was older, he came and the people gathered around him, they solved it.
Gund jî hemû malbat e? Is the village too all family?
Em gişt ji, ji koka Şêx Ehmed a Silef de ne. Di gundî de em gişt in. Kese xerîb tê de tune ye. Gişt 'aîle yek e. We all are from, from the root of Şêx Ehmed the Predecessor. We all are in the village. There is no stranger in it. The whole family is one.
Ne wek, derve da, dibêjin "Ema yek dibêje ez ji gundê Şêx me", malbat jî hene. Lê giştî wek dibêjin? Not like, outside, they say "But one says I am from the village of Şêx", there are families too. But overall as they say?
Malbat, te dît pirs, gundê me, bi navê malbatek, yanî encam de yek e, yek malbat e. Piştre tê de malbatî yanî... Family, you saw the question, our village, by the name of a family, I mean in the end it is one, it is one family. Afterwards there are families in it I mean...
Malbata piştî Şêx Ehmedê diduyan pênc lawên xwe bûn, ew jî zewicîn, qeçkên wan jî bûn. The family after the second Şêx Ehmed had five sons, they too married, their children too were born.
Niha li gund meselan dibêjin Mala Ebdî Seydo, dibêjin Mala Şêx Ehmed, dibêjin Mala Zilfê, dibêjin Mala Kolê, Mala Êhû, Mala Salihê, Mala Memî Eçmê. Now in the village for example they say Ebdî Seydo's House, they say Şêx Ehmed's House, they say Zilfê's House, they say Kolê's House, Êhû's House, Salihê's House, Memî Eçmê's House.
Ha ev ne di gundan de û tab'en em gişt jî ji bavekî de ne, em ji Şêx Ehmed in, Şêx Ehmed Silef. Ha these are they in the villages and of course we all too are from one father, we are from Şêx Ehmed, Şêx Ehmed the Predecessor.
Mamoste Mihemed niha di gundî de çiqas mal e? Teacher Mihemed now in the village how many houses are there?
Niha di gundî de dor çil malî heye. Now in the village there are around forty houses.
Bes ên derveyî gund ve, dor sed û pêncî malî heye. But those outside of the village, there are around a hundred and fifty houses.
Li kuderê rûniştin e ewna? Where are they settled?
Ewna berî van ehdasan e pir li Heleb û li Efrînê bûn. They before these events mostly were in Aleppo and in Efrîn.
Û gund jî wek sê malî, di van ehdasan de wek deha malî lê zêde bûn. And the village too like three houses, in these events like ten more houses were added to it.
Yanî hêna dijîn li Efrînê ewna bi piranî? I mean they still live in Efrîn mostly?
Li Efrînê ne, tab'en Heleb kes neman. They are in Efrîn, of course Aleppo no one remained.
Li Efrînê ne û pir jî niha li Tirkiyeyê ne û hen jî çûne derve jî. They are in Efrîn and many too now are in Turkey and some too have gone abroad as well.
Derve jî yanî li hemû dewletan hene. Abroad too I mean they are in all countries.
Meselan wek em dibêjin li Almanyayê hene, li Danîmark hene, Swêd hene, Fînlenda hene, evana berî ehdasan de gihîştin, Fînlenda, Nerwêc. Danîmark van dewletan gihîşt, ku noka xwa gundin. For example as we say they are in Germany, in Denmark they are, Sweden they are, Finland they are, these before the events arrived, Finland, Norway. Denmark they reached these countries, that now they themselves are a village.
Mamoste Mihemed hûn û devera xwe, Kobanê de hûn diçin tên? Teacher Mihemed you and your region, in Kobanê do you go come?
Kobanê... pêşî ez bawer nakim em hevdû bi xwe nas dikir... yanî. Kobanê... first I don't believe we ourselves knew each other... I mean.
Lê piştî van ehdasan bi wek çend salan vê ber xwe da de... bi navên hev nas bûn... em çûn dîtin hatin, çêbûn. But after these events by like a few years we brought towards ourselves... by names of each other we were known... we went seeing coming, they happened.
Em dehrin tên, yanî munasabetan em diçûn û ewana dihatin. We go come, I mean on occasions we went and they came.
Mêriya, ew carekî Ebdullah Gelo, pismamê me çû hecê an wefdekî em ji vê derê çûn, em çûn pîroz kir ji wan re. Relatives, that one time Ebdullah Gelo, our cousin went to Hajj or a delegation we went from here, we went and congratulated them.
Yanî çûn û hatin van fetreya paşî çêbû. Berî van ehdasan da em diçûn dehatin. I mean going and coming happened in this last period. Before these events we were going and coming.
Ê wek, gundê we niha, gundê Şêx hûn debara xwe bi çi dikin? Hûn jiyana xwe bi çi derbas dikin? And like, your village now, the village of Şêx how do you make your living? What do you spend your life with?
Wella niha debara piraniya li ser zeytûnê ye. Well now the living mostly is on olives.
Û hena pez xwedî dikin. Yanî wek pênc şeş malan jî pez xwedî dikin, pê debara xwe dikin. And some raise sheep. I mean like five six houses also raise sheep, with it they make their living.
Yanî gund mezin nabe bi îtîbarê... kuderê... cihek tunebû wisa mecbûr dibûn derdiketin diçûn Heleb wek karker... bi xebatê... wate debarê xwe dabîn dikirin. I mean the village doesn't get big due to the... where... there was no place so they were forced to go out to Aleppo as laborers... with work... meaning they provided their living.
Pir ekseriya naha, elhemdulîllah milk girtine, heta derveyî sînorê gund dî, gund de... meselen wek li Deştê... li cema Êbrazê... li vir na... li Qitîşê... Most majority now, thank God they took property, even outside the other border of the village, in the village... for example like in Deşt... near Êbraz... here no... in Qitîş...
...balkêş û xweşik e. Gundê re, pê diheşîne. Û pirkî zeytûn e. ...interesting and beautiful. To the village, it gives greenness. And there are many olives.
Mamoste Mihemed, em dixwazin dawiyê da te tiştekî ji bo Kobanê bêjî. Teacher Mihemed, we want you to say something about Kobani at the end.
Welle bi îtîbar ev, yanî pêşerojê ji Kobanê re, em berxwedana Kobanê jî pîroz dikin, û em wek dibê... em jî bi aliyê xwe re, çi ji me tê xwestin em dîsa amade ne ji vê re... biqedînin yanî. Well, by consideration, that is, for the future of Kobani, we also congratulate the resistance of Kobani, and as we say... we also from our side, whatever is asked of us we are again ready for it... to fulfill it.
Mala we ava be. Thank you.
Wê te jî ava be, ehlen we sehlen. Ser çava. Thank you too, welcome. Upon my eyes.
Tu jî her bijî, spasiyê dikim. May you live long too, thank you.

Gundê Şêx bi kaniyên û newalên xwe navdar e, û gelek gelî û newal li derdora gund hene. The village of Şêx is famous for its springs and valleys, and there are many valleys and ravines around the village.

Gundî di dawiya zivistanê û destpêka biharê de derdora darên xwe dikolin, marê dikin û dajon. In late winter and early spring, villagers dig around their trees, till them and plow them.
Dibistanek seretayî jî li gund heye, û zarokên gund heya refa şeşê tê de dixwînin. There is also a primary school in the village, and the village children study in it until the sixth grade.
Guvaşgeheke kevnar ya zeytûnan jî di gund de hebû. Lê niha ew xirab bûye. Tê gotin ku zeyta ji vê guvaşgehê derdiket, ji ya guvaşgehên modern a niha xweştir bû. There was also an ancient olive press in the village. But now it is ruined. It is said that the oil coming out of this press was better than that of today's modern presses.
Fethî, te dar çêkirî, dara malbata te çêkirî ye. Fethi, you made a tree, you made a family tree.
Te kengî dest pê kir? When did you start?
Me di hiştê, salê didawsiye. Du hezar û sêzdeh da da çêkirîye. We left it, in the year two thousand and three. It was made in two thousand and thirteen.
E, te çawa pê fikirî ye? Hinekî bi terê... Yes, how did you think of it? A little bit about...
Welleh dest pêkê min heye, û şebekî din li gund heye, pismamê min e, û pismamê min ê, fikra avana bi îtîbar aîle yek e. Em gişt bavik in a... Well, I started it, and there is another youth in the village, he's my cousin, and my cousin, the idea of these by consideration is one family. We are all one lineage...
Fikra me ev bû, em rûniştin bin go ka, em gişt bavik in heta ka em nava kom kin, bi cemaînan, û em dorek malbatê çêkin. Our idea was this, we sat down and said since we are all one lineage, let's gather the names, by society, and make a family tree.

Destê we sax bin, hûn ji kengî da li vir zikir dibin? Bless your hands, since when do you perform zikir here?
Welle, berî vê fetrê, ku em li gund bûn, gundê me yê jêr, em zikir dibûn. Well, before this period, when we were in the village, our lower village, we used to perform zikir.
Li mala Şêxoyê Şêx Ebdî, navê kalê me Şêx Ebdî bû, bavikê me Şêxo bû. In Sheikh Abdi's Sheikh's house, our grandfather's name was Sheikh Abdi, our father was Sheikho.
Û ha ev jî mala Şêx Hisên, lawê Şêx Mihemed e. And this here is Sheikh Hisen's house, son of Sheikh Mihemed.

Berî wê we li kû derê zikir dibûn? Before that, where did you perform zikir?
Berî wê em li mala Şêx Ebdî zikir dibûn. Kolê Şêx Ebdî ya. Before that, we performed zikir in Sheikh Abdi's house. Sheikh Abdi's hut.

Ser da em dixwendin, der dikirin, dîn hebe dihatin cem me, em mist didan. We read over them, cast it out, if there was a crazy person they came to us, we grabbed them.
Em ser da dixwendin, em ban wî ca qo dera dikirin. We read over them, we called upon them and cast it out.
Ê qîçkê wan xuetine ten, ceh me haw ji elhamdulîlah xwedê bîr yabo din rehet dibin. The little girls who were bound came to us, and thank God, God paved the way and they got well.
Rehet dibûn û der dibûn. They got well and it went away.

Pênç birakê xwe bûn, bes ê mezin di tê da Şêx Ebdî xuya dikir. They were five brothers, but the eldest among them, Sheikh Abdi, stood out.
Sulehetiyê li dera çê dikirin, They made peace there,
Çi mişkilk hebo naka gunda, şerek bibo an li hev xistin çêbibo, Whatever problem there was in the villages, if there was a fight or a clash,

Jo cad o bav o kalo mada am shekhlar in. From our ancestors and grandfathers, we are Sheikhs.
Jo ch qosa l’em qazo nizanin po show ro dagotin shekhler. As much as they don't know, from the past they called us Sheikhs.
Kalo aslaf ji hati dogotin do we galo do. Grandfather Aslaf also came and said in that valley.
G’waqte do wa cawro em zanin shakhlar biko. At that time, we knew we were Sheikhs.
Çelolar kever kî tul kire nav shoqe o nadidan. They made a wall of stones, extended it inside the gorge and didn't show it.
Wo jeno jeno l’pêsh vo ja heya g’wa ca shoqolar va ja jo va gari. And there is a place in front where that gorge is.
Wo ca got go hove tesh nobe shekh a. He said there that nothing else but Sheikh.
Yani jo wa assasda am shekhlar in a am zanin am shakhlar ina wa elhamdulillah. Am biche g’babe. Meaning from that foundation we are Sheikhs, we know we are Sheikhs, and thank God. We are whatever may be.

Gundê Şêx girêdayî navçeya Recoyê ye, Kantona Efrînê dikeve. Sheikh village is connected to the Reco district, located in the Afrin Canton.
Bîst û pênc kîlometreyî, li rojavayê wajaroka Reco Twenty-five kilometers to the west of the town of Reco
Û sîh kîlometreyî li bakurê bajarê Efrînê dikeve. And it is located thirty kilometers north of the city of Afrin.
Dema te yê amavê gundê Şêx da xuyadibe When you hear the name of Sheikh village, it seems
Ku tê da kesên oldar an go Şêx hene. That there are religious people or Sheikhs in it.
Lê belê ev gund bi vê taybetmendiyê tê nas kirin But indeed this village is recognized by this characteristic
Ji ber ku di nav gundê Şêxan de kur û barên olî yên îslamî, xwendina Mewlûd û Zikir Because within the Sheikh's village, Islamic religious affairs, reading of the Mawlid and Zikir
Navê gund jî ji navê Eşîra Şêxan hatiye. The name of the village has also come from the name of the Sheikh tribe.
Û niştecihên gund ji şaxekî Eşîra Şêxan e And the residents of the village are from a branch of the Sheikh tribe
Ku bi aliyekî xwesiye, ku ew şaxek jî Rîfaiyê Şêxan e. Which is unique in a way, as that branch is the Rifai of the Sheikhs.
Tê gotin ku ji beriya sedsalan diyarve, kesek bi navê Şêx Ehmed It is said that apparently hundreds of years ago, a person named Sheikh Ehmed
Ji gundê Daşlûkê, yê Herêma Kobanê hat Came from the village of Dashluk, in the Kobane Region
Û li gundê dika, di serî da niştecîh bû. And first settled in the village of Dika.
Lê piştî ku zewicî, xaniyek li cihekî din ava kir... But after he got married, he built a house in another place...
Û ev cih pişt re bû wekî gundekê, bi navê gundê Şêx hat naskirin. And this place later became like a village, recognized by the name of Sheikh village.
Hêjayî gotinê ye ku malbata Şêx Ehmed û weke şêxên din nas dikirin û ta niha kevnepişopiyên bav û kalên xwe bernedane û bi kar tînin. It is worth mentioning that Sheikh Ahmed's family, like other Sheikhs, were well known and until now they have not abandoned the traditions of their ancestors and still use them.
Heftane şînê yên gund ji merasîman re amade dibin. Û herwiha li ser cenazeyên miriyên xwe jî, bi merasîmên olî miriyê xwe radikin. Every week, the elders of the village prepare for the ceremonies. And also at the funerals of their dead, they bury their dead with religious ceremonies.
Merheba xwîşkê. Hello, sister.
Ehlen wesahlen. Welcome.
Destên we sax bin. Bless your hands.
Destên we jî sax bin. Xwedê we rabike, ser çavan, hûn hatin bi xêr hatin, ehlen wesahlen. Bless your hands too. May God elevate you, upon my eyes, you have come, welcome.
Spas xwîşkê. Destê te wî hemiyan xweş bin. Thank you, sister. Bless all your hands.
We jî hinek tiştên xwarinên Kurdan we amade kiriye. Dayê ka ji me re navê xwarinên xwe bêje, te çi amade kiriye û çi? You have also prepared some Kurdish food. Mother, tell us the names of your foods, what have you prepared and what?
Em îro Kerdî çêdikin. Me Kerdî anî şûşt. Em ê hûr bikin. Pîvaz jî me hûr kirin. We are making Kerdi today. We brought Kerdi and washed it. We will chop it. We also chopped the onions.
Em ê biqelînin. We will fry them.
Em ê xwêya xwe têkin, lehmecûna têkin, ew ê rind bikelînin, biqelînin. We will add our salt, add meat, it will boil well, fry.
Em ê paşê jî bulxuriya xwe têkin û paşê jî em ê tirşiya xwe têkin, em ê bikelînin. Bikelînin û deynin. We will then add our bulgur and then we will add our sourness, we will boil it. Boil it and put it aside.
Yanî destpêkê hûn ê biqelînin? So first you will fry it?
Erê. Piştî wê tê qelandin, tê kelandin. Yes. After it is fried, it is boiled.
Ev li gund dibe? Is this found in the village?
Erê, erê li gund dibe li çiyê. Yes, yes, it grows in the village on the mountain.
Naha dema pincarê jî, ka em tiştekî bipirsin... Dema pincarê hûn di wê demê de çi pincarê çêdikin? Now during the time of herbs, let's ask something... During the time of herbs, what herbs do you prepare?
Nanê qûtikê. Darsongk, sîrik, kerbeng, şivîk, meze, ev em tînin... pak dişon û em hûr dikin. Qutik bread. Darsongk, sirik, kerbeng, shivik, meze, we bring these... wash them clean and we chop them.
Pîvazê xwe diqelînin, pincarê xwe çêdikin ser û em dixwin. We fry our onions, put our herbs on top and we eat.
Ev bi taybetî di kîjan mehê de peyda dibin? In which month are these specifically found?
Ev di meha duduyan de peyda dibe, yanî meha duduyan de dest pê dike heta meha çaran. These are found in the second month, so it starts in the second month until the fourth month.
Meha çaran qert dibe. Nika taze ye em çêdikin dixwin. Carna dereng dibare, sal dereng dibare. In the fourth month it becomes tough. Now it's fresh, we make it and eat it. Sometimes it rains late, the year rains late.
Darê meha yekê dibare, carna meha duduyan dibare. The trees bloom in the first month, sometimes in the second month.
Ka em hinek tiştên din jî bipirsin. Ev Kerdî li kû derê bi taybetî dibe? Let's ask some other things. Where does this Kerdi specifically grow?
Li gundan dibe. Li çolê dibe, nav keleman dibe. It grows in the villages. It grows in the wild, among the thorns.
Yanî ev deştan dibe yan jî çiya dibe? So it grows in the plains or in the mountains?
Erê, deştan jî dibe û çiya jî dibe. Û min pir dît li Selimiyê, yanî ne tenê li cem Kurdan heye. Yes, it grows in the plains and also in the mountains. And I saw a lot in Salamiyah, so it's not only among Kurds.
Li cem ereban jî heye. Carna em çûn, ereban bi navê xwe Lûf e. It is also among Arabs. Sometimes we went, Arabs call it by its name Luf.
Û li Dêrikê jî hebû. Min dît ku kirine tirş û me xwar. Û bi rastî jî dibêjin Lûf çêdikin. And it was also in Derik. I saw that they made it sour and we ate it. And really they say they make Luf.
Dibêjin fêdeya xwe ji tenduristiyê re, ji me'deyê re pir heye. They say it has many benefits for health, for the stomach.
Û ji nexweşiya penceşêrê re jî dibêjin fêde ye. Û heta kurmê zik derdixe. And they also say it is beneficial for cancer. And it even expels stomach worms.
Ên ku kurm hene derdixe. Û şehiyê mirov jî vedike, tu dixwazî nan pir bixwî. Ev in ku ji bo tenduristiyê dixwin. Those who have worms, it expels them. And it also opens up a person's appetite, you want to eat a lot of bread. These are what they eat for health.
Min tiştekî din jî bihîstibû, dibêjin... ez nizanim bê ka xwarina wî çawa dikin... ew zehîr e? I had also heard another thing, they say... I don't know how they eat it... is it poison?
Erê... Bixwe zehîr e. Bi tirşê, tê kelandin û bi tirşê... Yes... It is poison itself. With sourness, it is boiled and with sourness...
Tirşê simaqê tê kelandin, ew zehîr wî jê diçe. Sour sumac is boiled, its poison goes away.
Heger wek bixwî, devê te giş biwerime û tu nikarî... yanî heta tu hûr jî bikî destê te dişaweşîne. If you eat it like that, your whole mouth will swell and you can't... I mean, even if you just chop it, it makes your hands sting.
Zehîr e? It's poison?
Zehîr e. Belê. Bes fêdeya xwe jî pir heye. It's poison. Yes. But it also has many benefits.
Yanî destpêkê hûn vî zehîrî jê dikişînin? So first you extract this poison from it?
Erê. Paşê tu dikelînî. Heta Ermenî jî dikelînin, dixwin. Yes. Then you boil it. Even Armenians boil it and eat it.
Salê sê çar cara dibêjin, heq e em bixwin vî. Ermenî li Heleb... cîranên me bûn, ew jî çêdikirin. Three or four times a year they say, it's our right to eat this. Armenians in Aleppo... they were our neighbors, they also made it.
Çawa dikirin? How did they make it?
Wan jî wek me çêdikirin. Lê me hinekî cuda çêdikir... They also made it like us. But we made it a bit differently...
Na, te behsa Dêrikê kir û te behsa Selimiyê kir û te behsa Helebê kir. Hemî bi giştî wek hev çêdikin? No, you mentioned Derik and you mentioned Salamiyah and you mentioned Aleppo. Do they all make it the same way generally?
Giştî wek hev... Bes hin hene bilxur nakinê. Tirşê û xalî çêdikin. Generally the same... But some don't add bulgur. They make it with sourness and alone.
Û hin hene dikinê. Ê Selimiyê nedikirinê. And some do add it. Those in Salamiyah did not add it.
Ê Dêrikê nedikirinê. Ermenî nedikirinê. Those in Derik did not add it. Armenians did not add it.
Bes me bilxur dikirê, em kurmanc bilxur dikinê. Û wilo. But we added bulgur, we Kurds add bulgur. And like that.
Li kîjan deveran, ev li Selimiyê û li Dêrikê dibe, li kîjan cihan dibe? In which areas, in Salamiyah and Derik, in what places does it grow?
Her cihê ku av lê heye dibe, cihê ku şilî tê da hebe dibe. Everywhere there is water it grows, a place that is wet it grows.
Yanî lê belê li deştê jî dibe. Li çiyê jî dibe, li nav keleman da jî dibe. So it also grows in the plains. It grows in the mountains too, among the thorns.
Li Selimiyê bi gelemperî li nav baxçeyan dibe... Lê her cihî hene. In Salamiyah mostly in gardens... But it's everywhere.
Di kîjan mehê de ev te got peyda dibe, yanî dest pê dike? In which month did you say it appears, or starts?
Meha duduya dest pê dike... heta meha çaran xelas dibe. Heta meha çaran qert dibe. It starts in the second month... until the fourth month it finishes. By the fourth month it becomes tough.
Heta wextê bihara dereng dibe, ew hişk dibe wek darê genim. Em jê re dibêjin hişk dibe. Even when spring comes late, it dries up like wheat stalks. We say it dries up.
Hinek ji wan wek sêvê vedibe. Carna ew jî dikin xwarin, dibêjin ji bo tenduristiyê baş e. Some of them open up like an apple. Sometimes they cook that too, they say it's good for health.
Ew fêdeya wê çiye? What is its benefit?
Ji bo me'dê, ew me'deya ku gellek xirab e, xelibî ye. Tê zanîn ku fêde dike, û ji bo hezmê jî baş e. For the stomach, for a very bad stomach, it is upset. It is known to be beneficial, and it's also good for digestion.
Û şehiyê mirov jî vedike, tu dixwazî nan bixwî. And it opens up a person's appetite, you want to eat bread.
Û kurmê zik derdixe û dibêjin ji penceşêrê re jî baş e. And it expels stomach worms and they say it's also good for cancer.
Baş e. Tiştekî din jî em dipirsin. Ev tiştên xwarinên ku hûn amade dikin... te got navê wê çiye? Okay. We ask another thing. These foods that you are preparing... what did you say its name was?
Navê avan te got. Ev em jê re dibêjin... You said the name of these. We call this...
Ev we çi amade kiriye? What have you prepared here?
Em me tiştek din çêkiriye. We have made another thing.
Wê jî em piştre bînin we çawa amade kiriye. Ka behsa wê bike da ku em bizanin we çawa çêkiriye. We will bring it later, how you prepared it. Tell us about it so we know how you made it.
Ev semîtek bulxureke hûr e, nerm e. Em çêdikin, em tînin pîvaz û bacan û îsot û giya dikinê, paşê ziwa hûr dikin tê de. This is semit, a fine, soft bulgur. We make it, we bring onions and tomatoes and peppers and herbs, then we chop them dry in it.
Çi tişt hebe em dikin... em tînin hişîniyan hûr dikin yê taze, îsota xwe diqelînin, em avê didinê. Whatever we have, we add... we bring fresh greens and chop them, fry our pepper, we add water to it.
Bulxurê xwe nerm dikin, em zeyta xwe dikinê û paşê hişîniyê nav dikin. Û paşê wek hûr dibe em têdixin. Gellekî xweş dibe. We soften our bulgur, we put our oil in and then mix the greens. And then when it is chopped we add it. It becomes very delicious.
We berê yek jî amade kiriye, hûn çi amade bikin ev çi ye? Ev we çawa çêkiriye? You prepared one earlier too, what are you preparing, what is this? How did you make this?
Ev jî şilik e. This is also shilik.
Ew ka çawa çêdikin? How is that made?
Şilik, em hevîr distirên wek normal. Nan em çêdikin û paşê jî em di nav rûn de sor dikin, wek li ser sêlê amade dikin. Shilik, we knead dough like normal. We make bread and then we fry it in oil, prepare it like on a saje (metal plate).
Û me paşê şerbet kela ye. Û wisa me amade kiriye. Em datînin ser hev, em ê ji xwe re bixwin. And then we boiled syrup. And we prepared it like that. We stack them on top of each other, we will eat it.
Ev wek şîraniyekê ye... hûn gelek şîraniyên din jî amade dikin. Ev çi ye? Te navê wan negot? This is like a dessert... you also prepare many other desserts. What are these? Didn't you say their names?
Ev hejîrok in. These are hejirok (fig sweets).
Ka çawa çêdikin hûn vê? How do you make these?
Hejîrok em dikelînin... em dikin şerbetê û em dikelînin... heta ku ew xweş dibin, nerm dibin. We boil hejirok... we put them in syrup and we boil them... until they become nice, they become soft.
Em semîtê tevlî dikin... em gûz û behîv û fistiqan gişt hûr dikin. Me zeyt... carna em dimsê jî tê dikin em dikelînin. We mix in sesame seeds... we chop walnuts and almonds and pistachios. We put oil... sometimes we add molasses too, we boil it.
Me çêkir paşê wek em hûr kirin datînin. We made it then we put it down like we chopped them.
Em didin hevdu wek didin qatên xwarê. Û em wan paşê diqetînin. We put them together like stacking layers down. And then we cut them.
Ev heta çendekê dimînin? How long do these stay?
Dibe heşt rojan, deh rojan dudu rojan. Ev jî dem e. Da ku xweşik bibin wek tu sabrê xwe pê tînî. Maybe eight days, ten days or two days. This is also a time. So they become nice, as you are patient with them.
Zivistanan jî em sabrê xwe pê tînin. In winter we are also patient with it (snack on it).
Destên we sax bin dayê. Ka em dest pê bikin. Bless your hands, mother. Let's begin.
Em Kerdî hûr dikin û em wî diqelînin. Em tirşîyê xwe jî dikinê, lehmecûn jî tê dikin. We chop the Kerdi and we fry it. We also add our sourness, put meat in it too.
Rûnê xwe jî em dikinê. Û em bulxura xwe jî dikinê... û em tirşiya xwe dikinê. Em dikelînin û dûre em datînin. We put our oil in. And we also put our bulgur... and we put our sourness. We boil it and then we set it down.
Te zanî xwarina gunda wisa pirrî tamxweş e. Tu qet nabêjî li bajaran... wisa bajarokan... You know village food is very delicious. You don't even say in cities... like towns...
Na... No...
Tu bajar jî naxwazî? You don't even like the city?
Na, ez naxwazim ez naçim. Min xwarina gundan ez pir dixwazim. No, I don't want to, I don't go. I want village food a lot.
Bes a bajar te tiştek nexwariye? But you haven't eaten anything in the city?
Min nexwariye gellek. Ne pirrî zêde. I haven't eaten much. Not very much.
Tu wek tiştek dibînî xwarina bajaran? Do you see city food as something special?
Na... min ne dît. Me xwarinên gunda pirrî hez kir. Zêde... min bixwe tam kiriye. Tê bîra me demên borî pir me ew xwarine. No... I haven't. We liked village food a lot. A lot... I tasted it myself. We remember the past times, we ate them a lot.
Hêjayî gotinê ye ku hemû Şêxên li Herêma Efrînê dijîn bîngeha wan ji Kobanê ne. It is worth mentioning that all the Sheikhs living in the Afrin region have their origins from Kobani.
Gelek kes ji gundî biçûk da xwendine. Û xwendina xwe li bajar û bajarokan berdewam kirine. Many people from the village have studied since they were little. And they continued their studies in cities and towns.
Ji ber ku xelkê gund gellekî ji xwendinê hez dikin, tê de xwendinên cuda yên pîşeyî û pisporiyê xwendine. Zanîngeh qedandine. Because the village people like education very much, they have studied various professional and specialized fields. They graduated from universities.
Di civakê de cih girtine û lîstikên xwe wekî peyda kirine û pêk anîne. They took their place in society and maintained and played their games.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, dê werin em bi hev ra lîstikên gund jî nas bikin. Gelek lîstikên gund hene, di demên kin da wenda bûn. Yes dear viewers, come let's get to know the village games together. There are many village games, they were lost in a short time.
Şêx xwestin em wan lîstikan jî nîşan bikin û wan dîsa dubare bikin. Dema berê dilîstin. Merheba ciwano. The Sheikhs wanted us to show those games and repeat them again. They played them in the past. Hello young man.
Ehlen wesahlen... Mît seleme... hemû spas ji bo we. Xêr hatine xaltî û xalo. Ehlen wesahlen. Welcome... A hundred greetings... all thanks to you. Welcome aunt and uncle. Welcome.
Spas ciwano. We behsa lîstikan kir, hûn berê çi dilîstin? Thank you young man. You mentioned the games, what did you play before?
Welleh gellek lîstik me berê dilîst. Lîstika şebabo, qîntê hebû. By God we played many games before. There was the game of shababo, qinte.
Tûşê hebû. Çogûkê hebû. Me digel lîstikan, bi gund re dilîstin. Çend kes dilîstin. There was tushe. There was choguke. Along with the games, we played with the village. Several people played.
Pîmpoz hebû. Feqîre hebû. Ceme ew tişt hebin, em dixwazin em ji xwe zarokatiya xwe dîsa bikin... There was pimpoz. There was feqire. All these things exist, we want to recreate our childhood for ourselves...
Hûn dixwazin em pêşiyê lîstikên gund wisa dilîstin pêk bînin? You want us first to implement the village games that were played?
Me amade kiriye ji birayên xwe ra em ê pêk bînin, em ê lîstikên gund yên berê dîsa nû bikin, daxwazên nû wan lîstikan em ê li dar bixin. We have prepared for our brothers to implement them, we will renew the old village games again, new requests to organize those games.
Ev turasê kevin bûn, hinda bûn, em ê derxin ji miletê xwe ra pêşkêş bikin. These old heritages were lost, we are going to take them out and present them to our people.
Vê lîstika we giringî pê daye, çi lîstik e? Navê wê çi ye? This game that you've given importance to, what game is it? What is its name?
Cûtî kûsî heye, cema'et. Ew jî kevin bû, ew jî hinda bibû di nav gelê me yê Kurd da. We have the double turtles, folks. This is also old, it was lost among our Kurdish people too.
Ew çawa tê lîstin? How is it played?
Ewa du mêr e, xwe bi hev û din girê didin. Two men tie themselves together.
Bi bê pêyê xwe di bin pêyê hev ra derbas dikin. Yek di xwe da dikşîne, yek di xwe da dikşîne. With their bare feet, they cross their legs under each other's. One pulls towards himself, the other pulls towards himself.
Kîjanî xalib bûn, ew e cûtî kûsî ye. Whoever wins, that is the double turtles.
Ê ya din? And the other one?
Ê ya din feq û rovî ye. The other one is the trap and the fox.
Ew çawa tê lîstin? How is it played?
Ewa destê wî yekê... yek feqê xwe dikin... destê wî girê didin û lingê wî girê didin. That is, his hand... one becomes the trap... they tie his hand, and they tie his leg.
Yê din jî pê va daliqînin û diqulibînin, dibe feq û rovî, vî carî nikanin xwe qulipînin. The other one is hooked to him and flipped, it becomes the trap and the fox, they cannot flip over.
Berê gundî bi hemîyan dilîstin? In the past, did the villagers play with all of them?
Ewa, piştî karê xwe, yê cotkariya xwe, yê zikiriya dikirin... Yes, after their work, their farming, their plowing...
Yanê derbas dikirin evde şevan, bi vî lîstikana kevin. Meaning they spent these nights, with these old games.
Bi taybet xort dilîstin? Did the young men specially play?
Tabaen, xort. Of course, the young men.
Niha kî ye bilîze? Who will play now?
Niha, kurê xwîşka min, Henan. Now, my nephew, Henan.
Û yek jî biraziyê min... And also my other nephew...
Hekîm. Lawo, pismamê min e. Hekîm. Boy, he's my cousin.
Ka kîjan Henan e? Ev Henan, ev? Which one is Henan? This one is Henan, this one?
Ev Henan e. This is Henan.
Henan û Hekîm, hûn ê bilîzin? Henan and Hekîm, are you going to play?
Em ê, em ê bilîzin. Yes, we are going to play.
Berê we cara lîstine? Yan cara yekem e hûn ê bilîzin? Have you ever played it before? Or is this the first time you're playing?
Cara yekem e. It's the first time.
Nê te bîr e we, çawa bav û kalên we, bavo we dilîstin we dîtine? Don't you remember, did you see how your grandfathers and fathers played?
Ne te bîra min, wile. I don't remember, really.
Bes, vî zemanî hûn bilîzin a? But, you are going to play in this time?
Em ê bextê xwe... Em ê bextê xwe... Weke çawa tiştin e. We will try our luck... We will try our luck... Like how things are.
Ne zehmet e? Isn't it difficult?
Na. No.
Ê kerem ke. Go ahead then.
Kî, ez? Who, me?
Na, tê girêdî. Well, will you tie him.
Erê. Niha lingê wî û destê wî weha girê didim. Yes. Now I will tie his leg and his hand.
Îştê ev feq e. Ev feq û rovî ye. Look, this is the trap. This is the trap and the fox.
Çawa berê rovî dihat dketin feqê yan na... Like how the fox used to fall into the trap in the past...
Ewa, weke wê ye. Yes, like that.
Niha lingê wî em ê girê din, destê wî jî girê din, nikare xwe veke. Now we will tie his leg, and his hand too, he cannot untie himself.
Ka yê din. Where is the other one.
Wile raşatê te ne baş e Henan. Xêr e. Really, your luck is not good Henan. May it be well.
Te girêda ha. You tied him.
Dest û lingê wî jî girêde, pê va derbas ke. Tie his hand and leg too, pass them through.
Pêyê xwe jî, pêyê xwe jî di wî da dîsa ra derbas ke. Your leg too, cross your leg through his again.
Pêyê xwe jî. Pêyê xwe jî. Your leg too. Your leg too.
Na, te girêk feqê! No, you tie the trap!
Pêyê wî derbas kin di yê te. Pass his leg through yours.
Henan hoşa xwe bikşîne. Henan, pull yourself together.
Ê niha çawa dibe? Well, how does it go now?
Niha nikanin xwe bifiltînin. Now they cannot escape.
Hekîm bû rovî û feqê ket niha nikare xwe bifilitîne? Hekîm became the fox and fell into the trap, now he cannot escape?
Lingê xwe dirêj kin, lingê xwe ana dirêj kin. Stretch out your legs, stretch your legs out like this.
Êgeh niha çawa bike dare... How is the game now... he can't get out...
Niha derên, eva ye. Now get out, this is it.
Eva feq û rovî ye. This is the trap and the fox.
Yanê niha heta yek netê destê wan veneke, niha nikanin bifilitin. Meaning now until someone comes and unties their hands, they cannot escape now.
Wile rewşa we ne baş e. Really, your situation is not good.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, piştî lîstika xwe li vir jî em ê xatirê xwe ji we bixwazin. Yes dear viewers, after our game here we will say goodbye to you.
Li vir em gehiştin dawiya bernameya xwe. Bixatirê we, heya hefteyeke din em ê dîsa bi hev ra bin. Here we have reached the end of our program. Goodbye, until next week we will be together again.
Heyran û gerdenê zer My dear with the golden neck
A çi bikim û çi nekim What should I do and what shouldn't I do
Cot balîf û me'erdekî kem I'll prepare a pair of pillows and a mattress
Heyran û gerdenê zer My dear with the golden neck
A çi bikim û çi nekim What should I do and what shouldn't I do
Cot balîf û me'erdekî kem I'll prepare a pair of pillows and a mattress
Karekî bi cefa bikim I'll do a hard work
Ax nazo sebra dila Oh delicate one, patience of hearts
Delalê bîhna gulan My beauty with the scent of roses
Destê xwe bide destê min da Put your hand into mine
Da kevin ser hewza gulan So we enter the pool of roses
Kemberî berda ser milê She dropped the belt on her shoulder
Eman dînê gula zer Oh crazy yellow rose
Ji te nalîn û ji min keser From you groans and from me sorrow
